ABSTRACT:
A system for producing steam for the production of electricity includes a fossil fuel burning furnace in fluid communication with a liquid air fractional distillation facility. The liquid oxygen produced in the fractional distillation facility is used to increase the efficiency of the fractional distillation facility and the furnace. Gaseous nitrogen extracted from the fractional distillation facility is liquefied and used to increase efficiency of steam turbines by virtue of thermal communication with steam exiting the turbines. A magnetohydrodynamic electrical generation apparatus is included. Elements of the MHD apparatus are cooled cryogenically by liquid nitrogen, thereby enabling superconductivity to occur in the system. A suitable effluent gas recovery means is downstream of the furnace.
